Kvichak, a subsidiary of shipbuilding group Vigor Industrial , has previously delivered three of these vessels to the NYPD. Delivered in April 2010, August 2012 and April 2013, they have been providing maritime security and law enforcement along with search and rescue in the New York metropolitan area.

"The RB-M C has proven itself in the most challenging missions," said Art Parker, Vigor sales manager. "The Kvichak team is honored to be building a fourth boat to support what is arguably the finest and most experienced marine patrol units in the world."

A full cabin provides crew protection from the elements and is equipped with a robust navigation system, heat and air conditioning, shock mitigating seats and a communication system capable of communicating with other maritime security partners.
